Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
- Split it into tens and ones: 989 × k = 980 × k + 9 × k.
- Each answer is 989 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 989.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 989 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 989 away: 9,890 − 989 = 8,901. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 989: 9,890 + 989 = 10,879. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 989 → 1,978 → 3,956.
Every multiple of 989 is at least 989, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 989 times table exactly when it divides by 989 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 989 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 989 × 1 = 989 is odd, 989 × 2 = 1,978 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 989 × 10 = 9,890, and 989 × 100 = 98,900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 9,890 is 4,945.
Using the 989 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 989 × 7 = 6,923, you know 6,923 ÷ 989 = 7 and 6,923 ÷ 7 = 989. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Word problems
Times tables are most useful when you can spot them in a question. Try these, then open each one to check:
- A box holds 989 pencils. How many pencils are in 8 boxes?
Answer
8 × 989 = 7,912 pencils. - Tickets cost $989 each. How much do 8 tickets cost?
Answer
8 × $989 = $7,912. - 7,912 chairs are set out in rows of 989. How many rows are there?
Answer
7,912 ÷ 989 = 8 rows. - A plant grows 989 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 10 weeks?
Answer
10 × 989 = 9,890 millimetres.
Questions
What is 989 × 12?
11,868.
What is half of 989 × 8?
989 × 8 = 7,912, and half of that is 3,956, which is 989 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 989 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 989 contain nothing.
What is 989 × 7 and 989 × 8?
989 × 7 = 6,923 and 989 × 8 = 7,912. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 14,835 in the 989 times table?
Yes: 14,835 ÷ 989 = 15 with no remainder. 14,836 is not, because dividing it by 989 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 989 times table quickly?
Learn it in order first, then use the patterns above and practise mixed questions; a few minutes a day works better than one long session.
